Acupuncture is a powerful healing discipline based on nature. It uses the natural energies inherent in all living things to promote the body’s ability to heal itself. Restoring the balance of natural energy within a person, it thereby harmonizes the person’s relationship to the world.
By gently stimulating specific points on the body with the insertion of hair-thin needles, acupuncturists seek to keep your qi, sometimes translated as vital energy or life force, flowing smoothly and balanced throughout your body.
When the flow of qi is optimal, vibrant health results. When the flow is blocked or out of balance, the body sends signals which present as symptoms in one form or another (physical pain, emotional imbalance, body systems out of rhythm etc..). Acupuncture considers the person as a whole, aiming to treat the presenting disorder and resolve the underlying imbalance.
Treatment is individual, and takes into account the beautiful complexity and potential of each person. Your practitioner will determine a unique treatment plan that specifically addresses your individual presentation and will discuss with you how to proceed in partnership
